MAITLAND: TRADERS LEAVING LITTLE SPACE FOR SAFE COMMUTING

Venting about vendorsNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Dodging traffic has become adaily grind forMaitland traincommuters as informal trad-

ers on the pavement pay scant at-tention to the safety of pedestrians.The traders have left little safe

space for pedestrians and some arecontributing to crime, says Com-munity Police Forum chairpersonCharnelle Southgate.To ensure the safety of train com-

muters in Maitland, the communi-ty organisation is now calling fora formalised trading plan for ven-dors in Ferndale Drive.The organisation has received

several reports from residents, shesays.“Informal traders carry out busi-

ness on the pavement and thestreet, leaving little space for pe-destrians to walk on the pavement.In addition, there are taxis andcars travelling, often at highspeeds, to the station which makesit dangerous for pedestrians towalk in the street. There have beencases where elderly pedestrianshave been injured after trippingwhile trying to walk safely in thisarea,” she says.Maitland is a free trading area

for informal trading, says City ofCapeTownSafety andSecurity act-ing executive director IanSchnetler.“This means that the area is not

legislated to prohibit informaltrading and no permit is requiredfrom the City to trade in this area,”he explains.This has been tackled by the

Maitland City Improvement Dis-trict (CID), saysGeneLohrentz, thedirector of the improvement dis-trict management company Geo-centric.“Geocentric took over the man-

agement of the Maitland CID area18months ago andwe immediatelyformalised some aspects of the in-formal trade in the area including

the issuing of letters of consent bythe Informal Trade Managementunit of the City as a first attemptto regulate the number of tradersand the type of goods they trade,”he says.“Sadly, this does not mean the

traders all comply with the regula-tions for informal trade as set outin the City’s bylaws, which in turnrequires enforcement.“Maitland CID has engaged with

the relevant City departments todraw up a formal trading plan forMaitland which, when implement-ed, will formalise the managementof informal trade and regulatetheir activities. It is a lengthy proc-ess and furthermeetings in this re-

gard are scheduled for nextmonth.”The traders have had a negative

impact on safe walkways for com-muters, Lohrentz says.“The complaint that the infor-

mal traders inhibit pedestrianmovement is a fact. We engagewith traders nearly every day tomove out of theway, yet in the lightof infrequent enforcement and thelack of a trading plan that demar-cates formal trading areas weshare the frustration of the resi-dents and pedestrians,” he says.“At peakhours, the volumeof pe-

destrians going to and from the sta-tion and the taxi rank is so vastthat given the narrow sidewalks in

Ferndale Street, even these side-walks cannot dealwith thenumberof people, traders or not. This issueis further exacerbated by the be-haviour of the traders.”Schnetler says informal traders

must still conform with municipalbylaws while conducting theirbusiness, such as not causing anobstruction to vehicular and pe-destrian traffic, not littering, andnot staying overnight.In addition, some of the traders

have been linked to illegal trade.“There is a problematic building

in the street where neighbourshave reported drug trade. Anumber of traders have beenlinked to this house where they ap-

pear to be storing goods,” saysSouthgate.Drug dealing in the Ferndale ar-

ea was identified as a serious prob-lem in the past, says Lohrentz, butactive operations by the CID andMaitland police have resulted in anumber of arrests.Maitland police spokesperson

Constable Lorencial Johnson saysa site visit is planned for the street.“Numerous complaints were re-

ceived by members of the publicand searches were conductedwhich led to the arrest of a numberof suspects dealing in or usingdrugs on the premises and aroundit. Policewill continue doing so un-til the problem is eradicated.”

SAFETY CONCERNS: Community organisations have called for a tradingplan for Ferndale Drive, to ensure thesafety of commuters and pedestrians.

HOMELESS: ‘GREEN’ AID A WRAP-UP AGAINST THE COLD

Sleeping bag to help beat big chillNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

For people fighting the winter chill whileliving on the streets of Cape Town, anew recycling initiative is keeping

them warm and dry.A sleeping bag, called the Street Sleeper,

is being produced from recycled PVC, a plas-tic used on billboards that can’t be recycled.

Oliver Brain came up with the idea inwanting to help homeless people but he“didn’t have an easy enough platform to doit from”.

“I decided to create this platform for peo-ple and chose to focus on one element: pro-viding shelter from the cold, wet and windynights for some of the thousands of peoplewho find themselves homeless in CapeTown,” he says.

“It was then that I noticed our city is plas-tered with PVC advertising billboards thatcan’t be recycled after use. I had found mymaterial and it was plentiful, flexible, water-proof, strong and wanted to be upcycled,” hesays.

The process of going from billboard to bagstarts with your donation diverting a dis-used billboard from landfill, Brain says.

“We source our PVC for free from a compa-ny called Tractor Outdoor here in CapeTown. It is then transformed through sever-al stages into a bag. Production creates em-ployment, with local people involved in con-struction,” he says.

A machinist is currently employed full-time with the help of three volunteers to cre-ate the sleeping bags, Brain says.

He says the company will soon start manu-facturing lifestyle accessories, such as cell-phone covers, laptop bags and wallets, fromthe billboard material, which will cross-sub-sidise the non-profit branch of the brand.

“Since we started in March we have dis-

tributed about 60 bags. During this time wehave set up an in-house production facilitywhich has given us the ability to increasethe volume of bags made. We plan to distrib-ute at least 200 bags this winter,” he says.

Another 50 bags were distributed on Man-dela Day, he says.

Patrick Williams has been living on thestreet for four years and now uses a StreetSleeper. “This year is the coldest that I haveever seen Cape Town. This bag keeps mewarm at night and it’s a hundred times bet-ter than sleeping in the rain,” he says.

The sleeping bag also doubles as a carrybag.

“Innovation is at the heart of the StreetSleeper. We wanted to make a product thatnot only provided relief from the elementsat night, but also served a purpose duringthe day. Homeless people inevitably have alot of belongings they carry around withthem, so it made sense to make the sleepingbag double as a backpack. The benefits ofthis are that now people can transport be-longings, keep them dry from the rain aswell as safe,” he explains.

Sam Langa lives on the street and says theStreet Sleeper has given him a sense of secu-rity.

“Before, people would steal everything Iowned while I was asleep. But now I storemy belongings in the bottom of this sleepingbag and they stay safe during the night,” hesays.

The sleeping bag also form a bridge be-tween social groups, Brain believes.

“Street Sleeper bags forge links betweenthe homeless who are pro-actively workingto change their circumstances and the peo-ple who want to help them.

“They are used to build bridges over socialbarriers and create value for the people whouse them. The most tangible benefit we haveseen is the appreciation and happiness thatthe people who use the bags have shown. Ina society where not much attention is paidto the homeless, the fact that they are receiv-ing a product that has been specifically de-signed for them creates a sense of value,” hesays.

Brain believes the Street Sleeper will alsobecome a tool to raise awareness.

“Our ultimate goal is to provide shelterand to raise awareness around homeless-ness and the economic disenfranchisementthat goes with it. We think that the appealand uniqueness of this product – a survivalbag created from waste, built by homelesspeople – is a powerful advocacy tool thathighlights issues facing the most disadvan-taged members of our society.

“It would be a stretch at this early stageto say that Street Sleeper is empowering peo-ple to move off the street, but we have seenthat it does create a dialogue and raisesawareness around the issue of homeless-ness, which is a step in the right direction,”he says.V For more information on the project visitwww.streetsleeper.org.

Fine boost for traffic servicesA traffic fine income of R142.3m has beenreported by the City of Cape Town’s TrafficService for the last financial year.

And according to Safety and SecurityMayoral Committee member JP Smith, thisis an indication that measures implement-ed in the last year are paying off.

“This increase is not due to the issuing ofmore fines, but a direct result of the variousinterventions we have implemented. It real-ly is very encouraging to see the progress,

but there is still a long road ahead,” he says.Cape Town’s traffic fine recovery rate

continues to be the best in the country, butat just under 40%, the target of a 60% recov-ery rate is still far out of reach.

“Only through ensuring traffic offendersare compelled to face the consequences oftheir actions can we change their road be-haviour and make our roads safer,” he says.

The most recent intervention to get mo-torists to pay their traffic fines started as

a pilot project in April when council’s Traf-fic Fine Management Department rolled outa pilot SMS reminder service.

Cape Town Traffic continues its Opera-tion Reclaim initiative which uses automat-ic number plate recognition to track downoffenders with outstanding warrants.

In the last quarter, 12 163 motorists werearrested. Smith says Operation Reclaim hasquadrupled in capacity and is tracing andtracking many more offenders.

Wheels of changeNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

A cycle event is looking to honour the lifeand legacy of Nelson Mandela by taking Ca-petonians on a ride of their lives.

The Freedom Ride will see around 5000 cy-clists travelling 27kms through Rondes-bosh, Athlone, Langa, Woodstock and Dis-trict Six, covering a kilometre for everyyear the late president was incarcerated.

This event captures the very essence ofMadiba, says Bicycle Empowerment Net-work director Andrew Wheeldon.

“It speaks to overcoming racial intoler-ance, discrimination and fear of the un-known within our own cities,” Wheeldonsays.

“It demonstrates his legacy lives on andthat we live it and breathe it; and that wemove together as unified South Africans –this is the spirit of ubuntu, the spirit ofMadiba.”

Starting in Rondebosch, the route willpass the Trojan Horse Memorial in Athlone– the site commemorating three victimswho were killed by security police in 1985– and Athlone Stadium.

Cyclists will then ride to Langa with astop at Ikhaya le Langa’s, a project tacklingunemployment through community regen-eration and social enterprise initiatives andtransforming the ‘Langa Quarter’ into a vi-brant tourist destination.

Riders will also pass the Langa mural artstrip created by 17 artists in December 2013through an engaging street art/mural com-

petition.The route will then follow the Liesbeek

cycle lane which runs parallel to the riverand is to be connected to the city though de-marcated cycle lanes currently under con-struction along Albert Road.

This will then lead cyclists past historicDistrict Six and eventually into the CapeTown CBD where the ride ends in the Fore-shore.

The route was selected so as to join di-verse communities through the medium ofthe bicycle, Wheeldon says.

“The ride will link communities and al-low residents to congregate, share andmove together – thereby facilitating engage-ment, conversation, and creating an envi-ronment where friendships, shared visionsand ideas can emerge.

“Rondebosch, Athlone, Langa, Pinelands,

Observatory and Woodstock as a journeyhas long been divided and forgotten. Thisevent aims to open this up again and to con-nect those who live in these areas,” he says.

Participation is free but riders must reg-ister to take part as numbers are limited.

Proceeds of the Freedom Ride Cape Townwill go towards setting up a Bicycle Empow-erment Centre in Langa.

The Bicycle Empowerment Network hasalready established 14 bicycle workshops inthe Western Cape, by supplying containersconverted to workshops and stocking theworkshop with bicycles and tools.

The centre project managers are trainedby the network in business management aswell as bike maintenance.V The Freedom Ride will take place on Saturday 9August. The race is noncompetitive and open to allages. Visit www.freedomride.co.za.

A dirty businessANDRÉ BAKKES

@andrebakkes

If vagrants take garbage from a refuse bin,is it theirs? And if a member of the publicthen takes the vagrant’s bag, is that theft?

These questions came to the fore after aParklands woman recently seized a va-grant’s bag away from him and refused togive it back.

Outgoing community police forum chair-person Andrew Brace and previous princi-pal inspector of the Displaced People’s Unit(DPU) Wayne Aldridge clarified the matterto People’s Post.

SaysAldridge: “If you put something intothemunicipal refuse bin with the intentionof throwing it away and move the bin offyour property then the contents of the binbelongs to the City of Cape Town.While thebin is on your property it still belongs toyou.”

He adds that a member of the public has

as little right to take a vagrants bag as itis for the vagrant to take something out ofthe dustbin and putting it in there.

In such a situationAldridge says it is bestto notify the police, who are within theirrights to seize the bag.

“It is up to the street person to prove thatwhatever is in that bag belongs to him orher,” he continues.

“One thing is certain, members of thepublic should be very careful they don’tsubject themselves to a charge of assaultwhile they try to remove a bag, which in re-ality does not belong to them.”

Brace says the DPU can remove a varietyof items from vagrants.

“These include any item that can be usedto erect any type of structure, shelter or cov-er for possible unlawful occupation of Cityowned land; shopping trolleys and carts;and any other items that might be stolengoods. These will be handed over to the po-lice,” he elaborates.

CRIME: FIREARMS HANDED IN FOR DESTRUCTION

Gun control on targetNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

The largest consignment of firearmsdestined for destruction in the prov-ince has been handed in at Maitland

Police Station.Over 60 firearms from the precinct have

been advertised for destruction.The bulk of these were voluntarily given

over to the police, says Constable LorencialJohnson, Maitland police spokesperson.

“The station received 55 firearms from aprivate security company for destructionpurposes. The firearms were handed in vol-untarily due to them being either unservi-cable, not working or in a bad state. A filefor each firearm is opened and after the pre-scribed tests and paperwork is completed,the firearms are than sent to Pretoria for de-struction,” he says.

Maitland Community Police Forum headCharnelle Southgate believesmore individ-uals need to hand guns to the police.

“Imagine how many innocent lives couldbe lost if those weapons were to fall into thewrong hands,” she says.

“Maitland doesn’t have many cases ofshootings, but our neighbouring communi-ties, such as Factreton, often have inci-dents. The shootingmay not be taking placein our precinct, but guns can be used in sur-round areas as well.”

Southgate has called on residents to en-sure guns are kept out of the wrong hands.

“We need to keep an eye on illegal fire-arms and I encourage residents to reportthem to the police. We will also be lookingto hold the police accountable and ensurethat no corruption takes place and the gunsare disposed of correctly,” she says.

The destruction of firearms is handled at

provincial level, explains Johnson, and theMaitland police does not fund the destruc-tion.

Gun Association of South Africa spokes-person John Welsh says in handing overfirearms to the police, the guns have beendeemed unnecessary by their owners.

“This move obviously leads to the reduc-tion of the number of firearms in civilianhands. It is the responsibility of the policeto care for these surrendered firearms andammunition until such time they are de-stroyed. Since criminals are aware that theState is a good source of firearms, they willalways try to gain access to them either bycorruption or breaking into such safe-keep-ing facilities with the intent to steal them,”he says.

“If the police do not apply due diligenceand ensure that all procedures are followed,some or all of these firearms and ammuni-tionmay fall into thewrong hands and usedto commit crime. In many areas wheregangs are prevalent, these firearms mayfind their way to them which would lead toa proliferation of gang violence and the kill-ing or injuring of innocent civilians. Thereis, accordingly, a huge responsibility on thepolice to carry out their constitutionalman-date and not to collaborate and cooperatewith criminals.”

According to Gun Free SA spokespersonClaire Taylor, over 1.1 million guns havebeen destroyed since 2000.

“This illustrates the seriousness withwhich both government and the police re-gard the problem of firearms, and their in-tention to gain control over illegal and legalfirearms in South Africa. This also showsthatwe are committed to creating a safe andsecure country. By destroying these guns,the police are ensuring that they can never

find theirwayback into circulation – to kill,injure or threaten anyone,” she says.

Destroying these guns has a direct bear-ing on reducing crime, Taylor says.

“Less guns mean less gun violence and asafer South Africa for all,” she says.

FRINGE FESTIVAL: POSITIVE SPIN-OFF FOR CITY

Upset at artsfunding furoreNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

As the city gears up for its first FringeFestival, arts organisations believethe funds would be better spent on lo-

cal projects.The Cape Town Fringe Festival, due to

take place from Thursday 25 September toSunday 5 October, will host a range of smallproductions, mostly by independent practi-tioners. The festival will be modelled onFringe Festivals in New York, Prague andAmsterdam.

According to the event’s website, the con-cept of ‘Fringe’ started just afterWorldWarII in Edinburgh, Scotland, when a group ofindependent artists felt excluded from theEdinburgh Festival. They started their ownfestival which, today, is the world’s biggestand best known.

The bulk of the festival’s funding will beprovided by the City of Cape Town, to thetune of R2.7m.

TheNationalArts Festival has takenovertheCapeTownevent todiversify andextendtheir brand, according to the event website,as the organisation already boasts the ex-pertise and resources needed to run a festi-val.

However, the Cape PhilharmonicOrches-tra has received no funding this year, de-spite centenary celebrations being held thisyear, says CEO Louis Heyneman.

In previous years, the orchestra has re-ceived only R170 000, which barely coversthe costs of a concert, Heyneman says.

The Cape Town arts community felt side-lined by the negotiations with the Graham-stown National Arts Festival, believingthey should have been consulted and in-cluded (“Arts community blasts City ofCape Town for festival sideline”, People’sPost, 9 October 2013).

Heyneman says only one meeting washeldwith them prior to the City negotiating

with external organisers. This despite theCity having “all the expertise at their fin-gertips” with organisers from the orches-tra, Artscape, the jazz festival, the Fugard,the Baxter and Cape Town Ballet.

Heyneman would rather see the fundschannelled into supporting existing artsprogrammes.

But the link between the Cape TownFringe Festival and the Cape PhilharmonicOrchestra with regard to funding is mis-guided, says Mayoral Committee memberforTourism,Events andMarketingGarrethBloor.

“It is not a matter of funding the FringeFestival instead of supporting arts organi-sations like the orchestra. The funding sup-port for the Fringe Festival delivers on akey objective in the use of large-scale eventsto positively enhance economic and socialdevelopment in Cape Town. Performingarts festivals of this nature have a proventrack record in terms of contributing posi-tively to cities. In addition, leading per-forming arts practitioners both locally andabroad have recognised the viability of aFringe Festival in Cape Town,” he says.

The funding of organisations such as theorchestra is a different matter as it is notan event, Bloor explains. “Orchestras donot have a track record of affecting econom-ic and social cohesion on a large scale, butthis does not take away from the fact theyare important cultural organisations and abenefit to the city,” he says.

“The National Arts Festival approachedtheCity via theCity’s fundingmechanisms.The arts festival is a member of the prestig-ious World Fringe Alliance – a grouping ofnine Fringe Festivals which collectivelyreach an audience of over threemillion peo-ple. The City has, however, committed toprovide the orchestra with R1.5m in fund-ing for the 2014/2015 financial year subjectto meeting with the relevant orchestraboard members,” Bloor says.

FACTRETON: TENANT’S REPAIR BATTLE WITH CITY

Bringing thehouse downNICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

For over a decade, Olive Goghlan hasasked for maintenance to be carriedout on her council house.

An entire section of the Ventura Streethouse’s outer wall is missing, with moreloose bricks likely to fall any minute.

The crumbling walls have caused thehouse to be very cold, resulting in hergrandchildren catching colds, Goghlan be-lieves.

She also worries for their safety.“My three-year-old grandson likes to play

outside and sometimes plays with the loosebricks. I’ve told him not to, but I worry he’llget hurt by a falling brick,” she says.

The roof is also leaking, with holes in thewall and loose bricks likely to fall out at anytime.

The council house has been the family’shome for over 60 years, with Goghlan’s par-ents as tenants before her.

The house has been falling apart for 11years, she says.

“I’ve reported the damage several times.Each time I am told someone will come outto do repairs, but they never do. I pay myrent every month, even though I am a pen-sioner. I’ve even been told I must hire a pri-vate contractor to carry out the repairs, butI don’t have money for that,” she says.

During rainy weather, Goghlan’s houseis littered with buckets to keep the leakingroof from flooding her home.

“I used to live in a shack where it leaked

and now that I’m in a house it’s no better,”she says.

In addition, damaged windows have be-come a security concern, she says.

“One night I was watching TV and whenI got up I noticed someone was trying to getinto the house through the window. Thewindows don’t latch closed and now I worrythat someone will use that to break into thehouse,” she says.

Community leader Jimmy Xalipi says theCity should acknowledge Factreton as anold township and treat it with the samestandards applied to areas such as Langaand Gugulethu.

“The houses should be given to the ten-ants for free, as in other areas. You can’task people to buy rental stock that hasn’teven had repairs carried out. These housecould collapse at any time, even while thetenants are sleeping,” he says.

The City of Cape Town’s Mayoral Com-mittee Member for Human Settlements Siy-abulela Mamkeli says only one request formaintenance was received since January2010.

“The notification was received in thismonth only and was for electrical mainte-nance repairs which have already been ef-fected. Notifications have now been createdfor the rest of the repairs to be done. It isimportant for tenants to please log com-plaints with their local housing office in or-der for any repairs to be effected. The Cityis responsible for normal wear and tear butthe tenant is held responsible for damageas a result of vandalism,” he says.

able stall.From Cape Town to Pho in Vi-

etnam, street food, a ready-to-eatproduct sold in a public placesuch as a market or fair by ahawker or vendor, constitutes upto 40% of the daily diet of urbanconsumers in the developingworld, says organiser HannerieVisser.“According to a 2007 study

from the Food and AgricultureOrganisation, 2.5 billion peopleeat street food every day,” shesays. “There aremany food-relat-ed events, festivals and expos inthe city, but nothing focusing onstreet food.“This festival is a showcase for

Cape Town’s local street food cui-sine, a platform for street food en-trepreneurs and a way to pre-serve age-old cultural tradi-tions.”The festival featured some of

Cape Town’s most well-knownstreet food entrepreneurs, manyof whom shared their secrets forsuccesswithup-and-coming food-ies.

Internet cafe couple up for fraudAn internet cafe in the Cape Town CBD hasbeen closed following alleged fraud andbribery of a police officer.

The 37-year-old foreign owner attemptedto bribe Cape Town International Airportpolice officers with R10 000 cash when theyrequested to search the shop on Thursday,Cape Town Central police spokespersonCaptain Ezra October says.

The police seized fraudulent documents,including passports, permits, identifica-tion documents and tertiary diplomas.

Ten dagga cigarettes were also found inthe shop, he says. Equipment includingcomputers, laptops and cellphones were al-so confiscated. The owner and his 34-year-old wife were arrested on charges of fraud,bribery and possession of drugs.

CRIME: PATIO OR GARDEN FURNITURE STOLEN

Alert – thereis a thiefon my stoep!NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Thieves are making off with familyheirlooms – from the stoeps ofWoodstock and University Estate

homes.University Estate’s Benni Hotz is one

of the locals hit by a spate of thefts, tar-getting garden furniture kept on porch-es.

Hotz and his wife went out a recentSunday morning, returning a few hourslater only to find that their bench,weigh-ing over 50kgs, had been removed fromtheir property.

“My grandfather made the bencharound the turn of the century. We noti-fiedourneighbours,whoposted the thefton Facebook. Soon afterwards, someoneresponded that they had seen a man car-rying a bench that matched our descrip-tion down Roodebloem Road, on hisback,” he says.

Hotz says he and his neighbours areaware of four similar thefts.

U-Watch neighbourhood watch chair-person Andrew Geel says the organisa-

tion has received a number of reports ofpatio and garden furniture being stolen.

“There is a trend towards stealing fur-niture, especially off porches, with oneor two perpetrators suspected,” he says.

But Geel can only speculate as to whythe furniture is being stolen.

He believes thieves may be resellingthe old wooden furniture and items foruse in the making of rustic frames andfurniture.

While the crime has aminimal impacton the community, residents need towork to together to report suspicious ac-tivity, Geel says.

“Cases like this show the communitycan benefit from working together tocombat crimes such as these and, in sodoing, can alleviate the police’s work-load,” he says.

Geel also calls on all residents to bealert. “Look after your possessions andquestion anyone in your neighbourhoodwho is acting suspiciously, or walkingdown the road with a bench on theirshoulders,” he says.

The Woodstock police had not com-mented by the time of going to print.

RETIREES: ONLINE DIRECTORY FOR PENSIONERS

Cheaper dealsa click awayMore and more South African com-

panies are offering retirees someform of financial relief.

This is according to Marilyn Hallett,founder and MD of You’ve Earned it(YE!).YE! is an online directory where com-

panies can list – free of charge – discountsor benefits for retirees.The latest Sanlam Benchmark Retire-

ment Survey found that 60% of SA pen-sioners do not have enough to live on andthe trend is getting worse, says a state-ment. The survey also confirmed 97% ofall South Africans cannot maintain a de-cent standard of living during retire-ment.Hallett says most retirees have always

struggled due to a low savings culture inSouth Africa, but over the last five to sev-en years, the situation has been aggravat-ed by the recent recession and the highcost of healthcare, food and fuel.“We are also seeing more of the ‘sand-

wich effect’ these days. Instead of eco-nomically active pre-retirees in their for-ties and fifties using disposable incometo invest for their retirement, they arehaving to contribute towards sustainingunemployed children on the one handand parents who cannot survive on theirsavings or pensions on the other,” saysHallett.The impact of discounts or benefits of-

fered by companies can range from a reti-ree being able to buy bare necessities or

being able to fix a plumbing problem toenjoying a meal at a restaurant or evena weekend breakaway.Hallett says it’s not about looking for

freebies for struggling retirees. “Compa-nies have goods and services to offerwhich retirees need or would like to buy,but cannot afford to purchase. The mar-ket opportunity is significant and it be-comes a pricing decision as to whetherone would like to reach this market ornot. YE! offers a platform,” says Hallett.How big is the market?“There are over 3.5 million South Afri-

cans over the age of 60. Granted, they arenot all retired so one can discount thatnumber, but consider that 97%ofwhatev-er number you land at would welcomeand support some form of relief and onegets a sense of the opportunity.”With YE! being a web-based directory,

is Hallett concerned that retirees are notcomfortable using online platforms?“The bulk of recent retirees were in

their late thirties or early forties whenthe internet first became a commercialtool in South Africa – they’ve been onlinedaily for over 20 years now.“When it comes to social media where

YE! also communicates discounts andbenefits, international figures indicatethat 60% of 50 to 60 year olds are activeas are 43% in the 65 year old category. Infact, we’re now reworking the website tomake it more responsive to cellphonestoo.”

Stem cell op to save toddler’s lifeDESIREÉ RORKE

@dezzierorke

A medically advancedstem cell transplant op-eration has given a localtoddler a new chance tolife.Little Claire Hart (2),

was diagnosedwith juve-nile myelomonocyticleukaemia almost a yearago, and given a life ex-pectancy of only fiveyears.“This is an exception-

ally rare disease in chil-dren and if untreatedhasa 100% mortality,” saidgrandfather Eddie Roos.Doctors told the family

that a bone marrowtransplant was the onlycurative strategy, but no potentially fullymatched local donors were found on theSouth African bone marrow registry andClaire was running out of time fast.Afternumerous tests, doctors atRedCross

Children’s Hospital opted for what they calla 5/6 blood cord stem cell transplant.

German donor foundAcord blood transplant is a hematopoietic

(blood) stem cell transplant which uses um-bilical cord blood instead of bone marrow,or peripheral blood as the source of blood-producing stem cells for the transplant.The transplant restores a patient’s ability

to produce healthy blood cells. Cord blood isfound in the placenta and umbilical cords ofnewborn babies and is collected after child-birth, without harming either themother orthe baby. After collection, cord blood is test-ed for tissue type and frozen and stored untilneeded.Unlike bone marrow, cord blood trans-

plants do not require a perfect tissue matchand therefore offer hope to thousands of pa-tients worldwide.“A suitable blood cord forClaire was found in Dusseldorf and is re-served for her to be flown in to Cape TownthemomentClaire starts preparation forhertransplant,” said Roos.The operation is only weeks away, as doc-

tors await a suitabletime. “There are cur-rently too many patientswith pneumonia at thehospital, increasingClaire’s risk of infec-tion,” said Roos. “Anyform of infection maymake Claire becomevery ill,” he added.

Cares for ClaireMeanwhile, with the

help of many friends,Claire’s family is contin-uously busy raisingfunds to acquire theblood cord – at amassiveprice tag of R445 000.Luckily, the medical aidhas agreed to cover thetransplant and hospitalbills up to R500 000, the

maximum allowance for oncology under thescheme.“We would like to thank those who so un-

selfishly donatedmoney and time to help us.Without your support we would not havebeen able to achieve what we have this far.“We all know that there will be thousands

needed for the extra costs that will arisefrom this as the quote only covers the mini-mum and foreseen expenses.”There is no guarantee that the first trans-

plant will be a success and she might needa second.“As time is of the essence we must make

provision for this and therefore we are aim-ing to have at least R1mavailable to give thislittle bundle of joy a long and healthy life,”added Roos.A non-profit organisation, Cares for

Claire, was registered to administer the fun-draising.The Veroné Weyers Leukaemia Fund re-

cently donated R7500 to Cares for Claire.The fun challenges businesses and com-

munities in Cape Town to match or betterthis donation.“Together we can offer Claire a chance to

a healthy future,” said Pieter and Igne Wey-ers, who made this donation.For more information you can contact Eddie Roos at083 460 2064 or Gary Hart at 082 484 3029.

Surf’s up!NICOLE MCCAIN

@nickymccain

Surfers aroud the Cape are called to ride thewave of change.Surfers can now give back to youth from

disadvantaged communities through theSurfers Helping Surfers campaign.The campaign will give used wetsuits to

young surfers to encourage growth in thesport.The Billabong campaign aims to touch the

lives of children from less privileged back-grounds, saysmarketing manager ChadD’Arcy.“We are hoping that we can positively in-

fluence children from disadvantaged cir-cumstances and through various surf out-reach organisations introduce them to thejoys of the ocean and the healthy lifestylethat is surfing,” he says.The campaign has already seen a strong

response, D’Arcy says.“This is the first year we’re running this

campaign and so far the response has beenfantastic. We launched the initiative inApril and, to date, we have collected over 60second-hand wetsuits. It is a great way forsurfers to give back and to help less fortu-nate kids share in the stoke of riding waves.We are aiming to do our first handover inJuly and keep the campaign running indefi-nitely,” he says.The second-hand wetsuits will be distrib-

uted to surf outreach programmes such asSurf Shack, Aleph Surfing Foundation andChristian Surfers.Surf Shack’s David Chudleigh says the

outreach programme assists 20 children

from areas such as Capricorn and LavenderHill to learn the skills around surfing.“You need to spend a reasonable amount

on time in thewater to become a good surfer.These wetsuits are the difference between achild freezing and only being able to surf fora few minutes, and being able to stay in thewater for an hour,” he says.With three of his students recently achiev-

ing provincial half colours, the campaignwill allow their talent to grow, Chudleigh be-lieves.“These children have always been on the

backfoot, but now they’ll be able to competeon the same level as other children. We’vegot really talented surfers who love the surflifestyle,” he says.“Surfing allows them to see that there is

more to life than drugs and gangs.”The campaign is taking initiative to con-

tinue the life of a wetsuit by creating ave-nues for people to donate their old suits, saysAleph Surfing Foundation director RehgertVan Zyl.“A wetsuit can tell many epic stories of

surf sessions that have been spent with itsowner, but once a surfer gets a new suit, theold one is quickly forgotten and ends up dis-carded. It’s great to see a campaign channel-ling wetsuits to people who do not have thesame access to resources. As an organisa-tion we can then share and send wetsuitswhere they are very needed and appreciat-ed,” he says.“What a way to make surfers from either

ends of the scale be part of the same processof sharing in the stoke. Aleph Surf is hon-oured to steward these suits and make a lotof surfers and other projects very happy.”

GROWING TALENT: Surfers can now give back by donating secondhand wetsuits to surfing outreachprogrammes. PHOTO: NICOLE MCCAIN

NICOLE MCCAIN@nickymccain

Swift Street residents have had it withthe members of the St Francis of AssisiChurch, which is running from a ware-

house in the street.Neighbour Rhonda George has been

parked in one time too many.“Their current parking habits are very

bad. The church members double parkwhich reduces a two-way road to only spacefor one car to pass. They also park in frontof our gates and cars so people can’t get outof their homes. The church has been run-ning for about two months. They have serv-ices at night in the week and on a Sunday.Parking has really got out of hand. I assumethe church is growing popular,” she says.People’s Post was unable to reach the

church for comment.The church can become noisy, but George

says residents are used to this after havingto endure a loud congregation in DurhamAvenue in previous years.“We as neighbours are quite grateful that

it hasn’t been as loud, even though they arenow across the street from us and not 20maway,” she says.Another neighbour, who requested to re-

main anonymous, says after functions at thechurch, litter is placed in bags and left onthe corner of Coleridge Road, instead of inbins. This is encouraging the activity of rats,which are already a problem in the area, shebelieves.George adds: “While we respect their reli-

gious rights, we just ask that they respectour residents and our community. We alsotrust they will keep all disruptions to mini-mal. We had to endure noisy services from

a previous groupwhich held their [services]off Durham Avenue,” she says.City of Cape Town spokesperson Priya

Reddy says the City has not received any re-ports of traffic congestion, but carried out aninvestigation after an enquiry from People’sPost.

“The City’s Department of Planning andBuilding Development Management hasconfirmed that the property is zoned mixed-use 2, meaning that a place of worship is al-lowed as a primary use. Officers patrolledthe location but found no obstructions or ve-hicles parked in the manner described. No

action was therefore required or taken.However, the situation will be monitored,”she says.The City’s solid waste management de-

partment is investigating the allegations ofdumping and will take action against anycontraventions, Reddy says.

They’re called all kinds of names.Bergies, vagrants, skollies, street sleepers, outies and

a smattering of less savoury ones, too. They’re also calleda nuisance, pests and unwelcome elements.

Based on these tags one would be hard pressed to be-lieve this is people talking about other people.

Human beings, of flesh and blood. They live, theybreathe, they have feelings and they have needs.

And, like it or not, homeless people are here to stay.In the leafy suburbs the well-heeled would dearly love

to wish the trolley pushers away in the wink of an eye.If only it were that easy to work with all people.The truth is, it isn’t.Here’s another truth: a large portion of the homeless

contingent do not want to lead a lifestyle that equates towhat most of us consider normal. And that is their inal-ienable right.

They prefer sleeping rough, don’t want a bed and a roof,a so-called normal job, family or associated responsibili-ties.

That is not to say homeless people do not have responsi-bilities. To the contrary, they don’t just lie downandwith-er away.

It must take untold stamina to survive the streets; itmakes some sense then that homeless people – young andold – are more than often addicted to cheap liquor andother drugs, hence the purple champagne tag.

Some of them are highly educated and ended up on thestreets through the curveballs of life. Theymayhave beenin stable families and have held down jobs. Then life hap-pened.

It could happen to you, too.The one day you’re happily going about your perfect

life; the next everything changes without your say-so.Sad and horrible all at once.Surely it is time to stop pointing noses in the air and

do something real and constructive to help others.

Responsibility to guide youthAfter spending a weekend with my cousinin Conifers, it is more clear to me than everthat the youthneeds guidance and attention.

It is easy to speak of “the youth” as an ab-stractwhole.We easily forget they are devel-oping [individuals who are] looking at us tosee how to develop.

At 17 years, my cousin has her whole lifeahead of her as well as the whole world onher shoulders.

Her struggles are remarkably similar tomine at [the same] age. She is confused andbattling to find direction.

She is full of attitude to mask that sheknows she has mountains to climb with nosafety harness.

Asa 25-year-old, I ambeginning to reap therewards of my hard work. Disappointmentsand triumphs have galvanised my determi-nation.Wecome from–gang-ridden, violent,drug-infested – places where success is apipe dream so people end up smoking pipeinstead. Looking at her, I see myself eightyears ago.

We are adults, with knowledge and experi-ence. We are in the position to guide young-sters. Yet the problem we have is our unwill-ingness to listen. I saw this with myself thisweekend. At times, I wanted to interrupt herand put her on the “right track” but I sat andheard her out instead. If I am right, this waswhat made her willing to take my advice inthe first place: mutual respect.

I am a Democratic Alliance Young Leader.We are chosen to go on a course that instils

leadership skills in us. As such, we do a lead-ership project. Mine is a pilot project inwhich I am getting expertise to youngstersmy cousin’s age.

These are youngsters who are living inpoor communities where there is no accessto such expertise. I asked my cousin to giveher input on whether she thought it was agood idea. She thinks it will be a major bene-fit to people like herself.

Since she and her friends are battling theissues my project aims to deal with, I askedher to recruit participants. I want her to beinvolved so that she can see what it meansto work on a project and reap the rewards.I want her to develop her confidence in whatshe can achieve and what she can mean forthose around her.

She is an individual and I want her to dis-cover things about herself.

It is not for us to swoop in and “save” or“teach” the youth. We must prove the valuein saving oneself. She can see I am achievingmy goals in spite of where I came from orwhat I have gone through. This tells her shecan do the same.

I am lucky that she was willing to spendtime with me and put me on the right trackwith my leadership project. I am grateful toher for agreeing to help me on this project.Just as she learns from me, I learn from her.

I will do anything I can to help [my cousin]achieve what [she] wants to achieve foryourself.ANNEKE SCHEEPERS

Banns were called and the marriage waswitnessed by Joseph Miller and MargaretCrawford. It was solemnised by Hirzel Fred-erick de Lisle. I’ve tried the

church without success, although I do

have a copy of their certificate.I’m hoping to fill in the gap between her

arrival and marriage. Alberta died shortlyafter my mother was born in England.

Also I’m hoping to trace my grandfather’spostingswhile in SouthAfrica. Hewas a car-tographer and I know he was involved withthe Castle plans; a William Loveridge sailedfrom Durban on the Durham Castle in June1907 and thatmaywell have beenhim. I havetried googling the military base but withoutsuccess. Contact us at [email protected] DE CARDONNEL HOARE,Email

A way to stoproad carnageThe murder of the four-year-old[Reiger Park, Johannesburg) boy[Taegrin Morris] would almost cer-tainly not have happened if the trafficpolicing demanded for many years bymy Road Safety Action Campaign(RSAC) had been in place.

In addition, if the other road safetymeasures demanded since 2005 by theRSAC were in place, the country’sroad carnage could have been reducedby up to 90%.

Those who failed to act includes theANC government, all opposition polit-ical parties and the public protector –all of whom were approached repeat-edly but failed to act.

Currently only the DA has respond-ed, but has not yet implemented the re-quired measures in the province orcity where it exercises political con-trol. The RSAC calls on all South Afri-cans to support action to end our roadcarnage. Those who wish to assist orwant further details may call me on082 098 9552.RICHARD BENSON

ENVIRONMENT: CALLS FOR PROPER CLEARING OF DEBRIS

Shifting Black River’s loadASTRID FEBRUARIE

@FebAstrid

Debris left on the banks of theBlack River has residentsconcerned about the effect it

has on the environment and thewildlife in the area.A resident, who spoke toPeople’s

Post anonymously, says the City ofCape Town “diligently” removesrubbish from the Black River, butthen dumps it on the banks andleaves it there for months.She has seen the debris on the

banks for about threemonths sinceit was removed by the City.“It can be seen as one crosses the

river while driving from Ronde-bosch to Pinelands,” she says.She says the debris looks terrible

and pollutes the area.“If it is not collected it means it

is not being removed from the riv-er routinely and has the potentialof ending up on the beaches, espe-cially Woodbridge Beach where Iwalk often,” she says.She adds that vagrants can often

be seen sifting through the debris.“The rubbish can be seen strewn

all along the banks and during awinter storm themuck flows downthe river and also winds up on ourbeaches,” she says.She also noticed other areas

where rubble has not been re-moved.This includes the island on Cam-

pground Road at the Belmont Roadintersection (the mountain side ofthe intersection).

“There is a pile of boulders rub-ble smack in themiddle.Also alongthe Black River near the RiverClub, I recall having seen some,”she says.Brett Herron, Mayoral Comittee

member for Utility Services, con-firmed the City received reportsfrom some residents.“The complainants raised the is-

sue of the debris on the river bank,as well as the removal of plant ma-terial from the banks of the BlackRiver,” he says.Herron says the debris is re-

moved from various rivers acrossthe city weekly.“Unfortunately, in this instance

the City could not keep to its week-ly schedule because our two serv-ice vehicles broke down at thesame time,” he says.The City’s Invasive Species Unit

has two trucks for rubbish remov-al, but both of them have brokendown and are currently being re-paired.Jonathan Hobday, chairperson

of the Black and Vygekraal Rivers,says in recent weeks some of thelitter has not been cleared as soonas it should.“This is a great pity and we have

complained about it,” he says.However, Hobday understands

the reason for the delay of remov-ing the cleared litter is that theKader Asmal team has only one re-moval truck which recently brokedown.“Hopefully, it has nowbeen fixed

because I note that some of the

piles of lingering refuse have beenremoved,” he says.The river cleaning is part of the

City’s Kader Asmal programmeand is done with funding from thenational treasury.The programme is dedicated to

creating jobs for unemployed peo-ple through an Expanded PublicWork Programme.Hobday says the programme has

been ongoing for about three yearsand has made a huge difference tothe state of some rivers, not leastthe very polluted Black River.“The efforts of the Kader Asmal

team have resulted in the removalof huge amounts of refuse as wellas the clearing of alien plants thatclog the river,” he says.Hobday further says they have

small teams working on several of

the rivers in the city daily.“Their efforts are part of the rea-

son why so much wildlife has re-turned to the Black River, not leastthe flocks of flamingoes, somekingfishers and even Cape otter,”he adds.Herron says theCitywill remove

the rubbish as soon as the truckshave been repaired which is ex-pected to be sometime next week.

The production is on until Sunday 3 Au-gust.

the century. The simple tale is mainlyconcerned with whether the decent CurlyMcLain (Werner Viln/Werner vanColler) or the menacing Jud Fry (NeilLeachman/Jason October) take LaureyWilliams (Victoria Harris / Sian Atter-bury) to the box social and what happensafter, but there’s also a comedic second-ary plot involving a love triangle.

The musical will be staged and directedby Teddy Davies with musical directionby Alastair Cockburn and choreographyby Kyla Thorburn and the Dream Balletby Roxy Levy – all multi-theatre awardwinners. The sets are designed by JohanBadenhorst and the colourful costumesby Roché Haupt-Buckle. Lighting and

Engen KO returns to ’PlainTASMIN CUPIDO

TazzCup

The notorious Cape winter has led to thepostponement of the 2014 EngenKnock-out Challenge and a change of venue.

Thepremier youth football tournament, ofwhich People’s Post is the print media spon-sor, will return to its original home of theStephen Reagan Sports Complex inWestridge, Micthell’s Plain.The decision was taken by both the host

club, Santos FC, and title sponsor Engen.Tournament organisers confirmed the deci-sion on Tuesday.The tournament, which was scheduled to

be played this weekend (Friday 1 to Sunday3 August), will now be played from Friday22 to Sunday 24 August.Stephen Reagan and the Mitchell’s Plain

Local Football Association (LFA) hosted thetournament from its inception in 2003 until2012. The action thenmoved toWilliamHer-bert Sports Complex in Wynberg last year,as a result of Santos FC’s affiliation to theCape District LFA.But extreme weather conditions over the

last couple of weekends resulted in water-logged pitches at William Herbert.“We have taken into account all logistic

imperativeswhichwould ensure the successof the tournament,” said tournament direc-

tor Gilbert Kruger. “Safety of all participat-ing and those coming to support the eventis non-negotiable. All 16 teams participatingin this year’s Knockout Challenge have beeninformed of this unfortunate development.”This year will, as always, feature the top

under-17 youth football teams from acrossthe Peninsula. But the teamswill havemorethan just the bragging rights, prizes and tro-phy to play for in this, the 11th instalmentof the tourney. Thewinner of the Cape Townleg will represent the Cape at the first-everEngenChampsofChamps inSoweto inOcto-ber.The national tournament will pit the win-

ners from the Cape Town, Port Elizabeth,
